Very unfortunate indeed

While not all Australians feel this way, I have encountered way too many who do in my 8 years here, even from very close family relations.  Whether the spew is about Americans, Asians, Muslims, or various “others”, it tends to come from people who haven’t traveled very much.  They base their biases on what they see on TV and what they hear from so and so’s neighbour who also hasn’t gone far from their suburb or they had a bad experience with one person and generalised it to the whole population.  They haven’t been fortunate enough to experience the beautiful people of various different cultures, races, ethnicities, and religions.
